Restaurant details
Reviewed 5 May 2023

We travelled over an hour to have lunch and it was well worth it. The restaurant is in a quaint Queenslander built in 1861 so has a really nice atmosphere. The food was exquisite as was the wine & service. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The food was excellent, drinks superb and service was outstanding.

Date night just got classy. The converted Queenslander was a little difficult to get to as its on the side of a hill and we had to climb some steep stairs to get up to the restaurant but once there the servers were quick to see to our needs and were happy to answer questions and provide excellent wine pairings with each dish I ordered.
The balcony seating was gorgeous. Menus were printed on thick vellum with beautiful leather binders, service was discreet and prompt. The price tag was on the high end but this place was a welcome change from the usual pub fare available in ipswich. To find somewhere this amazing locally was a relief from having to travel into Brisbane for a comparable experience. Definitely going to go back again
